The Texas Mexican Mafia: Mexikanemi

The Mexican Mafia, or “La Eme” is a U.S.-based gang made up primarily of Mexican-American street gangsters. The Texas Mexican Mafia was formed by Heriberto “Herb” Huerta in 1984 at the Huntsville prison in Texas. The original purpose of the Mexikanemi was to bring Mexican nationals and Mexican Americans together to defend against other predatory prison gangs like the Texas Syndicate. The Mexikanemi quickly grew into a formidable force within the Texas prison system. As members were released, the group focused on drug trafficking, extortion, murder, and robbery. The Mexikanemi soon spread to numerous cities across Texas.

By the early 2000s, the Mexikanemi were a powerful criminal force in Texas, allied with many Mexican drug cartels. The group’s first major transnational alliances were with the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, providing access to unlimited quantities of drugs. Soon the Mexikanemi expanded into all aspects of the drug trade, including trafficking, wholesale supply, and retail sale.

The Mexikanemi has a paramilitary structure that includes a president, vice president, generals, captains, lieutenants, sergeants, and soldiers. Heriberto Huerta remains president of the gang and runs the organization from his prison cell in the supermax federal penitentiary in Florence, Colorado. Benito Alonzo is the gang’s vice-president, and Robert Carreno is the leader of the group’s outside criminal activities. Huerta and Alonzo are estimated to have close to 5,000 Mexikanemi members under their control throughout Texas and parts of northern Mexico.

Benito Alonzo, vice-president for life

The Texas Mexican Mafia is highly active in Texas. Additional income is generated through the taxation of local, street-level drug dealers. Dealers who refuse to pay this 10% tax or “dime” are subject to home invasions, also known as “door kicks.” Mexikanemi members are known for their extreme brutality, killing anyone who attempts to obstruct or limit them. The Mexikanemi are recognized as the most powerful and influential gang operating in south Texas.

IP gangster Gamble seeks break for nativeness

The torture lasted hours.

"I didn't fucking do it, man!" Indian Posse Matthew Junior Gamble screamed from the prisoner's box, slapping the railing after his verdict. He was guilty of a horrific aggravated assault and unlawful confinement. The victim was bound, beaten, had brands applied to chest and back with hot knives, and then had his ring finger chopped off.

Gamble's lawyers appealed his 7.5 year sentence because the trial judge erred by not ordering the preparation of a Gladue Report. The judge relied on 3 pre-sentence reports instead. By law, judges must consider Gladue factors when sentencing First Nations people vis-a-vis "systemic and background factors." Gamble's appeal failed. A judge determined Gladue is not an “unvarnished direction to impose shorter sentences on Aboriginal offenders.” See -----> https://www.gangsterismout.com/2016/06/richard-wolfe-co-founder-of-indian.html

Jailed since 1995, El Güero worked by El Chapo’s side in the 90s. Palma has some deeply personal unfinished business. At 80, El Güero is past his prime but still has the capacity to shock.

The Arellano-Felix brothers planted a hitman who gained the trust of Palma's wife. Eventually, he murdered her and sent her head to her husband in a refrigerated box. A week later, El Güero received a videotape of his two children, Nataly, 4, and Hector, 5, being thrown off a 150-meter bridge in Venezuela. The resulting vendetta lasted at least five years leaving an unknown number of deaths. It is still unclear if the score was ever settled.

The three HA arrested are part of a drug investigation by the DEA with the Dominican Republic's immigration police. There's a problem with the Dominican dual citizenship of Aurèle Brouillette.

Six of them were accused of a combined 22 murders. There's even a club chapter there. Los Barracos MC in the city of Cabarete became an official HA chapter in 2009.

David "Wolf" Carroll illustrates the difficulty bringing fugitives to justice. In 2004 Carroll was living in Puerto Plata. When Dominican cops arrived at the house he was renting, he had already fled. HA seek out the Dominican Republic for simple reasons. Its a transhipping point for cocaine and meth. The cost of living is low, there is ample corruption and no bilateral extradition treaty.
